Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove well-founded fear of persecution in Italy.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that specific threats made them unable to return, but the court found no credible evidence supporting a well-founded fear of persecution within Italian territory. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the applicant did not demonstrate that Italy would not protect them from the alleged harm.
